Well, with Schadenfreude here, we might make the last 85 we need.

precisely my thinking, my friend.

Well I stayed at work every night this week until 9pm (I work a normal 8-5). I'm counting my blessings because there is so much work to do but they are really kicking my behind! I spent all week cleaning up the paperwork nightmare left behind by a co-worker who quit. She gave less than two weeks notice because she was going to have to wait and start 3 weeks later if she didn't get take the slot in the new hire group right away.

She doesn't think we know that but we're not stupid. Besides she let it slip and then had the nerve to show up one day this week to see how we were all doing. She's 22 and this was her first real job. No offense to any of our younger members but, there is something called professional decorum and she's yet to learn it.

Anyway, I'm glad she's gone for many reasons. I've just been forced to bite my tongue all week because another co-worker is really good friends with her. I'm suffering in silence. Well almost, I finally had to tell the owner about some of the major errors she made and explain to him why things are messed up.

There is some major office politics going on and I'm just emotionally exhausted. The upside is that I was asked to take the departed co-workers job which is a bit of a promotion for me because I will be doing the same duties but directly for the owner who has four times the amount of clients and business I have been dealing with on another team. And, I've been tasked with untangling all of the ugly knots that have accumulated for a long time. I may not survive until then though!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

None taken, Dixie.  I see the lack of decorum among co-workers in my age group as extremely predominant, which is why I'm not fond of hanging out with people my age or younger.  The only ones I do remain friends with are CR's whose parents raised them properly.

We had a married couple in our shop back in Misawa.  The OIC at that time pretty much let them run things.  They where in charge of pretty much all our major programs.  They moved to a new base about 6 months before a HUGE inspection.  Everyone had nothing but great things to say about these people.  Everyone loved them.  

Now...  we where below minimal manning at that time (3 Active Duty 1 Civilian in a 10 man shop), and going through stuff making sure we're ready to go for the inspection, we find out that this couple hadn't touched a thing in the last 2 years.  We had about a years worth of work with a full staff, to get done in 6 months with not even half the man power.

This was also going on while N. Korea was doing that stupid shit with the missiles and nukes, so we where spending a lot of time doing 24 hour ops, getting ready to go to war at the drop of a hat.

Suffice to say, you'll never hear a good word about that couple come from the 4 of us ever again.

The day wasn't a total waste. A guy I work with came as Joe the Plumber for Halloween today and pissed off the resident moonbats. He kept muttering something about needing to roto-rooter D.C. if Obama wins. :-)

I was fairly uncerimonious and sudden with broiler plate "let's be friends". All I will say about it is that we were not together long at all and she went back to an old goofball ex she was with for years. (But not with in the last few months and we were only dating for a couple weeks)

Always sucks to be dumped but in a month (more or less) I'll be thinking of it as a cool 4 night stand.  :lmao: (just not this week... to abrupt an ending)

On edit:
Thanks for the H5, lol

damn!

Yeah, I'm subtly trying to change the owner's starry-eyed opinion regarding the departed co-worker. I'm just stressed beyond belief because of the mess and dysfunction in general. I have to bite my tongue daily because I just want to line everyone up and say, "Stop it!" I can't believe how bass-akwards they can be.

I'll whip 'em into shape eventually. Come hell or high water. :-)

I'm home.  Took my dad out to dinner at his favorite catfish place.  We watched a bit of the teevee together and he just left.  I'm enjoying a nice cold beer.

As for my week, see the "WTF???" thread in the Cryin' in my Beer forum.

that's easy.  once someone leaves, just blame everything that happens on that person.  I don't understand the controversy. :-)

Oh, and no trick or treaters, the light is out on the front porch and my doorbell doesn't work anyways.  :)
